This weekend Asheville welcomes 84 adult co-ed soccer teams from 28 cities and 10 states to play in the 5th annual Beer City Cup, the largest adult soccer tournament in the country.
Games will be held at the John B. Lewis Soccer Complex in east Asheville as well as Memorial Stadium all day Saturday. The finals will be held at Memorial Stadium on Sunday from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm.
All games are free to watch! A number of breweries will be present on Sunday beginning at noon. The following breweries will be selling $2 pints: Asheville; Catawba; French Broad; Green Man; Hi-Wire; Highland; Oskar Blues; Pisgah.
Started in 2010, the Asheville-Buncombe Adult Soccer Association’s (ABASA) all-volunteer board decided to transform the now defunct Blue Ridge Cup into the Beer City Cup after Asheville’s 2nd crown as “Beer City, USA.” Spearheaded by ABASA board members Eric Usher and David Turner, the tournament successfully weds Asheville’s thriving adult soccer scene with the city’s world famous craft beer culture.
